Episode 13 - Life After Divorce
Buat yang pernah mengalami putus hubungan atau divorce/break up, di episode 13 Taboo Tuesday podcast ini, the ladies: Andrea Gunawan, Talita Setyadi, Gita Sjahrir and Cath Halim, bakalan ngebahas berbagai sisi life after divorce or break up. First of all, we know it's never easy, and it's okay. Ada banyak banget penyesuaian dan hal baru yang perlu dihadapi setelahnya, dan bakalan lebih berat kalau sekitar kita gak paham situasi kita atau gak suportif.
Pernah gak ada yang ngomong, "Kok bisa putus? Apa gak sayang? Gak diperjuangkan dulu?" Ugh, please. Apanya yang "sayang", ya? Atau ada gak yang juga bilang, "Oh, I'm so sorry.. It must be very hard for you being single again.." et cetera, et cetera. Mungkin niatnya baik ya ingin bersimpati atau menghibur, tapi sebenernya perlu dipertanyakan lagi juga nih: is it really that bad being single? Apa yang salah klo kita memutuskan buat mengakhiri hubungan yang gak works atau bahkan toxic untuk diri kita and being single again after being in a relationship?
Di episode ini kita bakal ngebahas mulai dari apa sih gimana kehidupan setelah putus dan bercerai, cerita soal respon orang-orang sekitar yang kadang being nosy dan komentarnya rada gak enak, gimana society memandang perpisahan sebagai "kegagalan", dan gimana menghadapinya (penting disimak!). Episode ini juga akan ngebahas soal pengalaman masing-masing terkait break up and divorce, how to redefined yourselves and checking your own values again, dan juga cara memandang status single and how to enjoy it! Make sure you stay tune to this episode!
